Party Crashing

I'm here. Vacation was so so wonderful and much needed and you know how the transition goes, its a bit painful. I will be boring you at some point soon with beach photos bc I took a bajillion of them. Mostly of sand, water and sky. But then there are also some of just sand and water, still more of just water and sky. Oh and clouds too. Lots of clouds. I'm just warnin' ya.

So I came home to this roaring party and feel like I missed all the fun! Okay, not quite. I've had a blast reading all (ALL) those comments! Thank you so much for all the generosities you left me! I apologize for the comment blipping that was going on! Geesh! Blogger flipped out at times and sent out error messages saying they didn't post, yet for the most part they were posting anyway it seems. This resulted in a lot of duplicates, and I've been weeding them out (ha! in the garden!) today to make the random drawing as random as possible. I am sorry if you tried, gave up and never got a comment posted. Wish we weren't subject to the imperfections that happen with this service, but for now it'll have to do.

I'll keep the commenting open till midnight tonight, then meet me here tomorrow to see if you're one of the 4 lucky winners (in honor of my fourth fabric collection!) Winners will receive the favorite(s) they listed along with some companion fabrics.

Blogger, bloglines have been crazy. I don't know if my comment went thru...but I just wanted to say it must feel wonderful to have a ROLL of fabric like that in your possession. Dang...how cool is that! Welcome home!

Welcome home!I have been enjoying more peeks at your new fabric collection, and I have to say it makes me weak in the knees. You have such a gift for evoking vibrancy and enchantment in fabric. I cannot think what I would make, to do it justice, but I feel like I just have to get my hands on some of those prints!

Any vacation with water/sand & sky is great. Your fabric line is so inspiring! It is going to be a fun group to work with! I don't think my last comment went through, so I am trying again. Mingling and Receiving Line are great patterns... I have to say that I am having fun with Drawing Room right now/can't get enough!

I have looked at these fabrics over and over and have created more things in my mind than I can everget put together. They are fabulous..and just for therecord I am one of your Senior admirers. They have started me sewing all over again. My order shouldbe here by tomorrow and with two new lens implantsand a source of gorgeous fabric, a happy person I am going to be Love the posts with your preciousgirls!Glad your vacation was so good.

So happy you had a fun, relaxing vacation...but glad you're back! Saw your little article in BH&G today, but didn't get to read it yet. Can't wait! Glad your name is getting out there so everyone can enjoy your beautiful fabric!!

Hi Anna, I'm glad you had a nice time on vacation. I was one of those who tried several times and gave up. I don't think my comment ever went through. I love, love, love all your new fabrics and can't wait to get my hands on them. Thanks for letting me re-enter the drawing if it is not too late.

Welcome back, Rock Star! I'm one of those folks who couldn't figure out if my comment about your glowing, luminous, breathtaking fabrics went through or not, so I just wanted to let you know how incredible I think this collection is. Turquoise Centerpiece and gold Social Climber are my favorites, if I must choose. Thanks for sharing your gift!

I can not imagine the joy to see all your new fabric sitting there. The rolls look so inviting! I love colour! I love the fact that you are not afraid of colour and that you step out and put things together in such a hip, retro, complimentary, yet conversational way. (that's a mouthful) It is a joy to read your blog...you go girl! Enjoy the celebration of your achievement! You deserve. Thanks for sharing your joy with others by way of a give away. :)Paula :)

So glad to hear you had a nice vacation :) Can't possibly join in on the party because I already have the fabric, don't want to be greedy ;) but I did want to let you know how much I love it, the designs just amaze me, such talent...WOW!!

Glad you got some beach time and some well deserved r&r. The new line is amazing, just fabulous. I am in love with all of the Garden Party fabric but can't wait to get my hands on the beautiful Guest of Honor in Navy.From a fellow Greek - Yia sta xeria sou!Diane

uuuuaaaaaau, lovely fabrics!!!! fantastic colours!!! I'm from Barcelona (Catalonia) and I don't know where can I buy these fabrics. This July I'm going to NY and SF. You know any shop to by yours fabrics???best regards.

I wanted to join in the 'Garden Party', but sob sob, Blogger said 'no'!So I'll leave my comment here.....Not sure if I'm too late - I never know what time it is even here in Belgium unless of course it's dark. Then I've got a pretty good idea it's night or is it maybe, early morning?If I'm in time, then I would have to vote for the turquoise centrepiece as my favourite - but that's in doubt, as it's such a beautiful and inspiration collection. Congratulations Lots of love
